Shisha Bar on Paisley Rd West – Issues around parking are being looked at. Anti -Social Behaviour at Copland Court Hostel, JK liaising with Social Work to seek a solution. SD – Informed the meeting that Govan East Community Council is now establish. Govan Graving Dock is in their area. They meet at the Riverside Hall 4.45 pm every 3rd Tuesday. The Govan Fair Committee have applied for a Procession License to follow the old original route. It appears that a new group has been set up and SD will seek to clarify. RB - Council has been in recess. RB has received many complaints about cleansing particularly in the Ibrox/Cessnock Area. RB has met with Stevie Scott a member of the senior management team to ask him to investigate the increase in the level of complaints in our area. The old Cartvale School is to become an annexe for the Glasgow Gaelic School from Aug 19 and is currently being refurbished. The work is on track and there is no need for a Public Consultation as it is not a standalone School but an Annexe. This is being funded from The Scottish Government Budget and will possibly include a Gaelic Nursery Class. Residents Forum CN raised the potential issue of Traffic dropping off at the new Gaelic School Site when it opens in August. JF raised the issue of traffic using CoplandRd, Ibrox Terrace ad Merrick Gardens as a rat run to avoid the lights. Merrick Gardens is supposed to be access only however the signs are missing and the situation is becoming dangerous for pedestrians. Councillors will look into this and feedback at next meeting. We will ask Councillor Young for an update as he was dealing with this originally. CN advised that there is a Private members bill due to be going through Holyrood to restrict all residential streets to 20mph. RB advised that Glasgow City Council had already taken a decision to implement this however it is on hold due to the G51 campaign in our area.

Ibrox & Cessnock Community Council Meeting 21st November 2018 Attending: Avril Williamson Chair Kirsty McDowall Co-Chair Stephen Dornan Councillor Iain Henderson CC Mr J Hopkins KPCC Mrs J Hopkins KPCC Robin Webster Hon. Secretary Archie Henderson CC Grace Smith CC Russell Cavanagh Resident Bailie John Kane Councillor Craig Houston Rangers FC Allan Young Councillor Sheryl Roft Councillor Claire Leonard David Jones John Foster CC Apologies: Anne Henderson Tara Granados Minister Ibrox Parish Church John McKinstry Treasurer Minutes of previous meeting on 18th October These were approved. Matters Arising There had been a meeting at Ibrox, where a presentation by Stewart Robertson had been well received. More portaloos were being provided. The matter of the Fanzone was not raised at this meeting, although it may still be going ahead. Need to consider what issues to raise at this forum. A representative of Rangers FC (Craig Houston) said that police & stewards patrol areas and depended on good liaison between residents and the police. RW mentioned Walmer Crescent, where a portaloo has been promised, as well as litter picking required after matches: The lane behind the Crescent also needed this. Other areas were also mentioned, like Merrick Gardens, where portaloos could be located, stewards could patrol and litter picking introduced. The stewards were trying to educate the fans and at least get them to walk in areas where there were no residents. Hotline number: if serious best dial 101, other wise phone 07525252699. Discussion Forum at John Street held on 10th November There was a discussion on parades, (now requiring 28 days notice for all city processions), and a talk on licensing: there is a new code of conduct for taxis. Next mixed forum on Saturday 1st December beginning at 9.00am. Filming for feature film “Sopranos” proposed on 28th 29th of November, notices sent out in advance between 9.30 am and 5.30pm, at which there will be short (2 min) hold ups to traffic and pedestrians.) A charter for self governance for community councils was not discussed at this meeting, but it may be at the next meeting. We have to complete a form by the end of February to confirm that we are eligible to receive funds. Concern that the funding for Community Councils was derisory, and gave no opportunity for them to fund any significant issues: (but GCC has very little money). Planning: Call for comments on Strategic Plan. It was thought that some sites in our area currently zoned for “industrial use” Are unused or inappropriate, and the zoning should be reconsidered. The increase in the number of barber shops was commented on. Deadline for views on this is 25th January. RW to consider a response. Strategic Plan for older people No response considered necessary Update 26-28 Ibrox Street: Govan Housing Association are involved in the repair of the property. Helen Street Pizza Hut, no problematic change anticipated. Car wash business: environmental concerns in Helen Street: effluent goes into drains: have SEPA been informed and do they approve? Lack of Lighting in Cessnock Street and Ibrox Terrace was raised.(Lighting in Ibrox Terrace some have been out for months). Events “Govan loves Christmas” events were planned. Kinning Park parking: all objections now received by Director of LES. Govan Area Partnership Task force indicated that people were reporting fly tipping etc. but Baillie Kane said fly tipping was up by 60%. Needs community to report it: virtually no-one has been reporting this so no-one has been convicted. New guidance is available on how GCC deals with the problem in more a preventative approach: each zone will be “zoned” from 1-6 (1 being no rubbish, and 6 a lot) so that the rubbish collectors can prioritise their collections. A paper went to neighbourhood committee on pre-1919 tenements on how to monitor and maintain them. West of Scotland Housing Forum is looking at tenement maintenance: how to help where owners cannot pay their share. Planters for Paisley Road West: no budget for maintenance but it was suggested that volunteers could do this? Bellahouston Park Four summer concert sessions are planned for Bellahouston Park in August next year : (It was discussed whether this will this affect the new and much admired Hospice, although the concerts were happening before the Hospice was approved for planning, and apparently the Hospice had not viewed these concerts as a problem). There were differing opinions regarding this, some residents feeling that the noise was excessive and disturbing for many residents at a considerable distance around the park. Local Residents’ Forum Rubbish issues Kirsty McDowall said that there was far too much fly-tipping and rubbish, in spite of posters etc. Is the CCTV being monitored, as no-one is being stopped? George Gillespie (the man responsible at the Council) had announced they were being restructured. Recycling bins are not being emptied and recycling is breaking down. Large bins in strategic positions have been promised but have not appeared. This is a serious problem, but those responsible are apparently unwilling to come to meet the Community Council to discuss solutions. Agreed to invite Dougie Gellan (Group Manager Glasgow South) to the January meeting. Corner of Carillon Road and Paisley Road West: vehicle damage to wall has not been repaired, although a bollard has been put in place. The wall should be repaired. Edminston Drive (off PRW) a hole in the round has been caged off but nothing is happening to repair it. The care of Merrick Gardens is under resourced: only the grass is cut, while the railings are rusting and have collapsed in places, no other maintenance is being undertaken. Next meeting of the Ibrox and Cessnock Community Council will be the 3rd Wednesday of the month. There will be no December meeting due to the proximity of the festive season Next meeting will be Wednesday 16th January 2019
